86%Weight 40%Scale 1-5Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A tight, highly actionable reference: concrete formats, runnable make commands, and a validation checklist, with no padding or beginner-level explanation. Its only real flaws are a duplicated type list (conciseness) and the absence of explicit failure/recovery guidance after a failed checklist step.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence — no explanation of what a PR or conventional commit is. The one clear redundancy is the Type list appearing twice (a full table under 'PR Title Format' and again as a bullet list under 'Commit Message Format' despite saying 'Same convention as PR titles'), which is exactly the 'minor instances that could be trimmed' of the 4 anchor; the 5 anchor requires every token to earn its place. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is fully concrete and executable: an exact title template, a type table with unambiguous 'when to use' criteria, eleven copy-paste example titles/commits, runnable checklist commands ('make test-backend-app', 'make typecheck-web', 'make generate-api', 'make staging') with a specific committed artifact path, and a five-part PR body structure. This matches the 5 anchor — instruction-only guidance that is specific and covers the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The Workflow section gives a clear 4-step sequence (identify scope → format titles/commits → run checklist → open PR) and the Pre-PR Checklist provides explicit validation checkpoints tied to commands. It falls short of the 5 anchor because there is no error-recovery guidance (what to do when 'make staging' or typecheck fails) — the feedback loop is implied by the checklist but not stated. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | This is a single-file skill with no bundle directories, and nothing in the ~90-line body warrants splitting into separate files — all content is overview-level and appropriately placed inline. Sections are clearly headed and easy to navigate, matching the simple-skill case in the rubric's scoring notes where well-organized sections alone earn a 5. | 5 / 5 |
